KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -A coconut is a large, nut-like fruit that grows high in trees. Coconuts have very hard shells and sweet, white flesh inside. The white, flaked coconut you can buy in a bag at the grocery store is a processed form of the coconut fruit.

Detailed explanation-2: -Brown coconuts are the mature fruit of the coconut palm. They have coarse brown hair on their outer shells, with three “eyes, ‘’ or brown circles. Inside they have a water-filled cavity surrounded by firm, chewy white flesh.

Detailed explanation-3: -The exocarp is the glossy outer skin, usually yellow-green to yellow-brown in color. The mesocarp is composed of a fiber, called coir, which has many traditional and commercial uses. Both the exocarp and the mesocarp make up the “husk” of the coconut, while the endocarp makes up the hard coconut “shell".
